Two Point Hospital Review: Laughter (And Good Gameplay) Is the Best Medicine (PC/Steam)
Over the past few months, I’ve been digging in to my backlog of games that I have purchased in the past and never got around to them. Doing so, I’m glad that I did as it expands my game knowledge and peaks interest in other genres I’ve never even considered. One of those games was Two Point Hospital, which if you asked me a few years ago if I was ever going to play it, I would have said probably not. Unfortunately, I wrote it off as generic and since it was focused as a PC resource management sim, I never really gave it any attention. Come to January of 2024 and I played a small indie game called dotAGE and it was about taking care of a village of people and preparing them for future doom and disaster events. It was the only full game I’ve had played in the genre and it let me open up the flood gates for more games in similar fashion. Having played the Sims in the past, TPH may be thought of as a clone or ripoff of it and that can’t be further from the truth. In my opinion, it was if you combined the RM system from dotAGE and other games like it and the customization of your world/home in the Sims. And what you get is an amazing, hilarious, and fun game for hours on end building hospitals to your liking and style.
